Fun to Run while traveling:)

[Irish-John]

Slowly but surely ticking off "States I have run in" :)Ohio is the latest one, and like the others I now have a memorable occurrence to look back on

Running certainly adds a very interesting aspect to new places 🙂👍🏻

Well that’s a bit of a teaser post! Don’t we get to learn what made it memorable? Or maybe see a photo?

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to PeggySusi]

No photos - but Google "Cornhenge Dublin" 🙂Was wondering what the heck it symbolised for the rest of the run. The answer was a bit more mundane than in my imagination 😂

[PeggySusi Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

It’s odd and interesting to see what people feel is worth commemorating in sculpture. Funnily enough, I’m currently reading an entertaining (really!) book that a friend, Vic Allen, has written, about public sculpture in Yorkshire.. it would be a good project to visit and run by all those featured. I’m pretty sure I won’t make it to Ohio though..😊

I see that it's really NOT "grim up North" Peggy Hopefully I might get to see some of those some day

[Joy57 Graduate]

It does, John. I ran in Cumbria yesterday and I'm now in Scotland (home of my birth), planning to run here over the next few days 🙂

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Joy57]

It's a great way to see extra things

Fabulous Irish-John …I love running in different places too 😎

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Walking is fine - but you cover relatively little ground, and it isn't as conducive to going through areas that look a bit sketchy 🙂 I'm finding I am much more motivated to "explore" around wherever I stop for the night 🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

That's great to travel lots and run in different states

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I love it 🙂 The old conundrum though when it comes to travel however - "When you have the time you don't have the money, and when you're making the money you don't have the time!" Lol.Hoping though to add a new COUNTRY to the list soon - running in the UK if all goes well 🙂

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

You are exactly right about time and money. Ooo UK running would be very different for you 😊

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Colder in summer and warmer in winter lol 🙂

[Lavender1962 Graduate]

Have you tried a US parkrun yet? There are quite a few, with new ones starting regularly. Running in different places is always gun and motivating.

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Lavender1962]

I actually tried to get one started where I'm based, but no such luck. I really wish there were some within reasonable distance ☹️

[Lavender1962 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

It’s nice to see you back running and posting. I read the posts here but post less often.

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Lavender1962]

It's always good to see your posts Lady L 🙂I'm not posting a lot these days myself - went back to the world of work, so mostly short runs in old territory and nothing much new to add

I am, however, really looking forward to the "Defeat of Jesse James Day" race next month 🙂

🍏I agree… I have run in the UK, in Miami Florida, in Calgary Canada, in the Rocky Mountains Canada, in Hawaii, & in South Africa! All good, all different experiences. Heat, cold, snow, rain seaside, countryside, riverside, forest.. trainers are easy to pack & take anywhere 🥳

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

Way to go Annie 🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Irish-John, it's funny I will get out of bed to parkrun if I'm visiting somewhere whatever the weather, even with a hangover but at home will glance out the window and snuggle back down if the weather's iffy 🤣🤣🤣

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to OldManRunning]

Like my old Dad used to say,'Oh isn't it nice to get up early in the morning!...but nicer to stay in the bed" 😂

Cannot imagine running with a hangover, at least not the skull- shattering, stomach-ripping, eyeballs-exploding ones I used to have...the good old days lol

[OldManRunning Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

They seem to be a bit tamer now, well the alcohol intake is a lot less these days and defo wouldn't run with one of those type of hangovers Irish-John 🤣🤣

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to OldManRunning]

I don't miss them 😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Travelling and running... excellent.... more info please

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Check out "Cornhenge Dublin" on google 🙂 Had no clue it existed - and mad speculation about it for the rest of my run LOL 😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Okay!
